Wrapping the week up...
Well this is the end of my first partial week at the new job.
I spent half of Wednesday adjusting the height of my desk, and getting my workspace all straightened out. Then it was on to finding some ActionScript 2.0 tutorials. I spent December learning Flash CS3 and a little bit of ActionScript 3.0. So things are a bit different than what I expected.
Thursday, I actually dug into some new code. I began work on a new set of classes to provide "Sticker Book" like functionality. I had some significant struggles with ActionScript's interesting mix of dynamic classes, type-sensitivity, and the Flash CS3's auto complete, combined with only having a trace function for debugging since CS3 will close if I try to debug. I tested it at home, and it appears I have an issue with my setup at work. I'll figure that out on Monday.
Friday was a mixed bag. I wrapped up most of the functionality for my classes, and I am able to place, rotate and erase "stickers." We lost internet connectivity, which is one of the things that us engineers are supposed to fix... but it turns out I don't have the permissions yet, and with the lead engineer being out, was limited to plug pulling.
Other things:
1. I received a total of 4 emails this week.
2. My only commuting problem was walking around Downtown Seattle trying to find a place to buy a bus pass.
3. I can check work email on my iPhone.
4. I didn't swear at all this week at work.
Next week, the artists on the project I'm working on are coming back from their vacations. I'm about to get owned!
